Cute one bedroom cottage in Albany

Rent your own 1 bedroom cottage in back of a cute house in Albany. The cottage has been completely renovated with new kitchen cabinets, granite, completely new faux finish walls with vaulted ceilings. COMES WITH IT'S OWN PRIVATE BATHROOM, a smallish bedroom that contains a captains bed with four drawers. The bedroom and the bathroom are tiled. Comes with well equipped Kitchen, 49 inch 4K TV with many streaming services and Netflix free. Captains bed has four drawers and there is also a small five drawer chest of drawers in the bedroom. Completely private and separate from the main house where I live. Comfortable bed in the bedroom but its a very small room so there is no room to get out of the bed except crawling over your bed partner and also the bed is higher than a normal bed so I have been advised that older guests might not take to this so well. and very comfortable sofa bed in the living room. There is also a loft with a full size bed. Safe neighborhood, lots of on street parking, very near Solano ave which has tons of businesses and restaurants. Bart station about ten to fifteen minutes walk. As the space is very near the house and sound travels easily please no loud parties! The space couldn't comfortably accommodate 4 people although 7 people can sleep there but it would be very crowded.

We love d the location near the Solano Avenue with lots of local shops. perfect for 3-4 people. Kitchen was well stocked. Robin, the manager, was friendly: checked on us to make sure we are doing OK and even let me borrow one of his bikes.

Fun place. We'll be back.

We enjoyed the one bedroom cottage. Walking into the cottage was a little challenging with construction next door and a few tiles that were loose walking into the cottage from the outside. Overall it was great.

Description is right on!!!

The only two things that I would mention as a negative, is, one, as far as dog friendly, just know the yard is not conducive to taking your dog out for a bathroom break! You will need to walk down the block! With Poop bags, which not everyone uses! And two, the kitchen drawers and under the sink, and the floor between the fridge and counter’s could use a good cleaning! But, that being said, the important things were spotless! Ie, the bathroom and floors and counters! Maybe some fresh white towels and sheets and pillow protectors would be nice! The place has an eclectic charm that I appreciate! I’m not one for the institutional look! I walked everywhere and felt very safe, in the unit and outside of it!

Weekend in Berkeley

This property met our needs. We appreciated that we were allowed to bring our dog and everything we needed to do was conveniently located. It was a quick weekend so we didn’t have a lot of time to just hang out in the cottage. Our overall impression with it was kind of cute and funky, but could have been a little cleaner.

Nice little place!

I enjoyed the amenities, full kitchen, living room with TV, bathroom and bedroom. The only thing I didn't like was the bedding, pillows, and comforter. Just had a bad smell sort of like old cheese. I would recommend a waterproof mattress covering for general cleanliness and perhaps that the pillows and comforter be washed along with the sheets after each guest.

Good Value, good host

This is an older property with some unique features. The loft is unique, and adds extra space. Our son slept there in previous visit. Robin is great host, friendly, and super fast with response to any questions, issues. Kitchen area is furnished with extras, such as coffee, and even some foods furnished! There were some canned goods and various items. Space is small, but cosy and comfy.

Traveled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness
Stayed here for 1 week as it is close to family. Robin was easy to work with and provided excellent instructions for entry, use of the heater, and other useful information during our stay. We only saw him once but he told us he had knocked a few times to introduce himself but we were not there. His phone number is on the instruction sheet if we needed anything.The bed was very comfortable and plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen was stocked with sufficient plates, silverware, etc. if you wanted to cook. However, in our opinion this is not your typical VRBO rental and could use some improvements. Advertised as sleeping up to 7 but that would be crowded. Rugs appeared to be old, sliding glass door in the bedroom did not lock (there is a wooden fence around the outside of the slider but could not see if it was accessible or if it had another door that locked). In the kitchen, the refrigerator had a carton of milk left behind and a package of expired frozen chicken in the freezer. The cupboards also had lots of food and some of it was opened. It was easy to find the location and there are security lights if you come and go early morning or late evening. It was quiet in the area and we got a good nights sleep every night.

Excellent location for a quiet East Bay stay

The best thing about this cottage is its location, it really can't be beat if you are looking for a nice quiet place to stay in the east bay thats walking distance to things. Robin was easy to communicate with as well. The one note to prospective guests I have is though technically it can sleep more, four people is the max this cottage can hold if you want to comfortably use it. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and recommend it.
